What’s going on here? I have a relatively new account and I used to be able to vote, but now I just get this message. I also can’t change votes I’ve already cast.

New to LessWrong?

LessWrong added a requirement to have net positive karma to be able to vote.

Well luckily this question gave me enough karma to upvote your answer :) thanks!

Weird because the comments I made didn’t receive any votes but it seems like I stopped being able to vote after writing them. Unless this requirement was added in the last few weeks which would explain the change.

Requirements for new users keep changing, because there are many new users recently, and moderators are overwhelmed. Don't let that discourage you, the idea is just to slow down the new users.
